NEW DAWN IN SPORTS BETTING AS UK BILLIONAIRES PARTNER WITH KENYAN COMPANY
By African Times Special Correspondent
Kenya’s sports betting is headed for interesting
times following the entry of a new company
with backing from billionaire British investors.
Triple 5bet which will officially be launched in
Kenya soon, has received the nod from the
Betting Control and Licensing Board [BCLB).
The company has partnered with one of the
largest betting outlets in the UK, according to
Triple5bet Operations Manager Jack Spencer,
which will be unveiled during the launch.
Some of the top UK betting companies are 888
Sports, Unibet and Hopa.
Following partnership with deep pocketed
investors, Triple 5bet is bringing a gaming
experience never seen before in this country,
including the largest ever jackpot payout.
It could be anywhere in the range of Ksh100
million to Ksh 500 million, revealed Mr Spencer.
In 2001, a roof repair man in the UK placed a
Ksh1.50 bet in an English Premier League
match and won nearly Ksh300 million.
Triple 5bet will bring this international gaming
experience to Kenya, through the enormous
variety of sports, top quality odds, amazing free
bets, virtual games and live gaming.
In addition, Triple 5bet will offer the latest
sporting news and cutting-edge pre-match and
post-match analysis. This will equip punters
with relevant information that will enable them
place winning bets.
It has also emerged that Triple 5bet’s UK
partners are already in talks with various
sporting teams in the country, on possibilities
of sponsorship.
“It’s noteworthy that our focus is mainly on
teams at grassroots level. Our motive is to hone
sporting talent. This will potentially accord
young sportspeople a path to livelihood as well
as bring sporting glory to the country,” says Mr
Spencer.
This news will certainly stir the local sports
betting industry as most sporting activities
resume around with the gradual
easing of the pandemic-driven lockdowns.
